Third graders broke into small groups to complete a design challenge using a set amount of materials. Every group was given 10 straws and a roll of tape to create anything they could think of. They could also use scissors to cut the straws if they wanted. Here are the amazing results....look how different they all are!

As a fun, final project of their time as James Ward artists, 8th graders learn and practice basic sewing skills in the creation of these "ugly" dolls (but really, just cute!).
Students studied the artist Claes Oldenburg and his larger than life sculptures of everyday objects. Students split into groups and chose an object that they could find in the art room. They created measurements and scaled their drawings up to 10x bigger to create their very own larger than life sculptures. After they built their structures out of items such as cardboard and newspaper, students paper mache'd their work to give it a smooth base for painting. Here is a small sample of students at work and a couple of the final pieces!
Pre-KPreschoolers explored a multitude of artistic practices during this project. They started by exploring color mixing. Each student got a piece of red and blue model magic. They were asked to mix the colors together to see what new color it made! To their excitement they made purple! Once they formed a sphere with their clay, they used pipe cleaners to create different line designs to ultimately form their very own unique sculpture!
Eighth grade students have spent last quarter creating their very own ugly dolls. Students designed their doll, sewed on details and then stuffed their dolls to make them three-dimensional. Here are the super cute results!
Students in 6th grade worked for over 10 weeks to complete these fantastical creatures! Below are snapshots of the students at work and some of their completed sculptures.
Students in 5th grade created ceramic pieces that utilized the technique of 'slip and score' to attach pieces together. 6th Grade6th grade students created paper mache birds to practice for a larger sculpture they are working on. Students created an armature, covered it with paper mache, and finished it with paint.
Third grade students worked together to create haunted houses using cardboard, tape, and glue! As you can see in the last photo, no two houses look alike! Students at Work:Finished Houses! |
